    Failed White Pine rigging

    It’s good and everything. Title should be ‘Rigging failed white pine’ I opened it with different expectations!

    Take out the lesser Co-Dom and top the other by a 1/3.

    Avant Thread!

    The v1505 is a gem of an engine. I’ve had them in three of my chippers, never missed a beat. Love them.

    T542i advice for longer and better using

    No, I started in ‘95 the 020 av was the saw to have. My Dad had a little yellow Partner top handle with a push oiler. By that time I think the US makes had become homeowner stuff.

    The difference between logging and Suburban Tree Work

    I guess, if you want to ‘push limits’ for whatever reason. I think if I have a point, it’s that discussing hinge dynamics and all that is a bit superfluous if there’s a 100hp plus tracked loader telling it what to do.

    The difference between logging and Suburban Tree Work

    It seems to me the skill level needed to fell trees in the desired direction with a rope and a machine pull is miniscule in comparison to doing it from the bottom with wedges etc. Speaking as a rope and machine sort of guy.

    T542i advice for longer and better using

    Cons: Heavy. Pros: Good power, easily my favourite TD saw, I bought the ground saw equivalent for my employee so with the coms as well we’re very calm. I had the 536 before, not enough guts for the bigger stuff, this is fine. The weight means you have to be very deliberate about stowing it...

    I have never greased clutch bearings in 30 years. Zero consequences.

    Giant 2500

    Is there an equivalent US made machine? Multione (Italian made) sell as Vermeer in the US, might prove to be a good move

    Giant 2500

    No being political, but I wonder what the promised tariffs will do to the prices of the Giant (Dutch made) and the Avant (Finnish made)

    Where to start?

    @Suuz It’s not for everyone. There’s plenty of other work with trees apart from climbing up them and cutting bits off. It is good to be encouraging and positive but the odds (and time) are against you. Being a good ground worker, running ropes and operating machinery like loaders and grinders...

    Where to start?

    There comes a point where you have to make a cutoff time wise or it gets ridiculous.

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    I read this far in the sentence and I wondered where we were going.

    Got mine a few weeks ago, along with the ground saw. The topper is heavy, but my go to dismantling saw at the moment. Ill give my thoughts later, got to go to work.

    Giant 2500

    FTR I have nothing against Giant, I wanted one before I started on the Multione/Avant road, but there was too much of a delay in production. My approval of your purchase is mostly based on the premise that it reinforces my decision (a popular sentiment on the internet) Good luck and congratulations.

    Haul-back line for remote rigging point.

    Use the end of your climb line.

    Electric saws with cold bar oil in winter

    Not a real issue here of course, but have you tried petrol?
